6.2 Patch Notes

**aveyond-dreams** · 08-20-2022 04:12 AM

I think that for the most part, players choose the gender they prefer their character to present as and aren't all that interested in wearing clothes of the opposite sex aside from, understandably, the pants that are often locked to males while women get what feels like an excessive number of shorts in place of them.

While that is indeed frustrating, there isn't a lot of demand for men being able to wear dresses or skirts, especially not the ones from the eastern online store sets that are incredibly rare to see being used in game.

I dunno, I bet there are players who would want more masculine/short hair for their female toons. To be clear I am all for more hairstyles of masculine, feminine, and NB design to be added. It may not effect me much, but it would be a bit selfish to just care about my own needs in an MMO! I just feel the hairstyles given as an example where rather lazy and dull personally. Could also be due to not being a fan of that games overall style anyway haha.

Have to say personally I disagree. Women in suits kick ass. My WHM Glam is her in a butler-like suit and if the Mog Station one ever goes on sale I will be tempted to get it myself. I have seen players ask for more suits for women, and recently more so male players ask for more short-like looks for summer/beach builds.

Even if that is the case, I do not see why gender locks should not become a thing of the past, especially in regards to future/new gear and Mog Station outfits. Customisation should also be open, not restrictive, I feel. Plus whilst I will not pretend to be an expert, I doubt it is the removal of gender locks that is hogging the resources/stopping new designs and updates being created.

Well id love more "Masculine" Options. My character isnt another typical pretty Princess. So is more of a Tomboy.
Id love there to be more options for Pants instead of Skirts and shorts. Id love to be able to wear alot of the outfits that are Male only; some of the Garo Gear for instance.
Id love if the Scion Outfit had an option for Females to wear the Tie instead of that Prissy Ascot.
Id love if I could wear the Male Version of alot of Store items
Quite happy am I that I can wear the Loyal Butler Outfit on my Main here, and for giggles I can wear the Maid outfit on my Hrothgar Alt.

There probly isn't ALOT of us, but Im sure there is a decent Number of us that would love if they made more Gender Neutral outfits, or offer options that both Genders can wear either set.

I disagree. More Burly Men in Skirts!
Why should traps get all the fun but MEN shouldnt get the ability?

On which server. Yours? I have seen more than a few on JP, NA and OCE servers.

Even WoW offers more unique and fantastical hairstyles for both genders of their races than FFXIV does.
